We Need to Talk About Kevin

Directed by Lynne Ramsay

Who is to blame when a child goes horribly wrong? Tilda Swinton is stunning as a mother who is caught in the crossfire when her son commits atrocities, and is left to ponder her own culpability. “A skin-peelingly intimate character study and a brilliantly nihilist, feminist parable” (Guardian). Based on the 1996 best seller by Lionel Shriver, the film is a powerful and inventive work that is the best kind of adaptation—one that doesn’t attempt to replicate but instead reimagines a story through film.
